Former Celtic winger Paul Slane makes shock football return as a player-coach after six years out

Former Celtic winger Paul Slane has completed his return to football in Scotland's fifth tier at Open Goal Broomhill.

The 30-year-old has worked on Open Goal's YouTube channel with Simon Ferry, who is their host, and the latest venture sees the pair join forces at Broadwood Stadium. Slane has signed a one-year deal in his first move since leaving Clyde in 2016. He's been working to discover his fitness again and the process has been captured in a documentary set to air on YouTube at the end of June.

Ferry was unveiled as Broomhill's new manager in May in a unique partnership between Open Goal and the Glasgow-based side. Slane was a promising talent at Motherwell at the start of his career and his form earned him a move to Celtic, but it didn't work out. Spells at MK Dons, Partick Thistle, Ayr United and Clyde followed on from his Hoops move.
